PrivacyMeter provides a real-time privacy quantification for the modern Web. It is a browser extension that, on-the-fly, computes a relative privacy score for any website that a user is visiting. This score is computed based on each website's privacy practices and how these compare to the privacy practices of many other pre-analyzed websites. Currently, it supports four main widgets, analyzing the trackers present on the page, fingerprinting activity, amount of third-party content, and leaky web forms. In addition, the extension provides users with contextual information about all the discovered privacy issues.
PrivacyMeter is a non-commercial research tool developed by PragSec Lab at Stony Brook University (http://pragsec.com), and proudly powered by EasyList (https://easylist.to), Adblock Plus (https://adblockplus.org), Web of Trust "MyWOT" (https://www.mywot.com), IP2Location LITE (http://lite.ip2location.com), Alexa Top Sites (https://www.alexa.com/topsites), and Highcharts (https://www.highcharts.com).
The development of PrivacyMeter is supported by the Data Transparency Lab (http://datatransparencylab.org/dtl-2016/grantees-2016/)!
About Privacy Policy:
- The extension anonymously caches information about trackers on its backend (of course, without any information about actually visited websites by the users) in order to achieve reasonable performance.
- If "crowdsourcing is enabled", the extension reports to its backend the following privacy practices per web page: list of present trackers, fingerprinting APIs called, list of third-party iframes, and the list of leaky web forms. No personally identifiable information will be collected, and no visited URLs will be shared with third-parties!

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
